Custom Homes

Working with individual clients to help them realize personal dreams can be the greatest challenge and joy we experience as architects.

Dot House: Twin Elevations Dot Houses
Twin speculative houses were built to explore the possibilities of structural stressed skin panels along with all wood construction.

Duck Lake House : Exterior view Duck Lake
This weekend house has a cross section that focuses in the morning on sweeping view of Duck Lake and reaches up to a book loft to catch the sunset.

Chicago Greystone: Exterior Chicago Greystone
This grand, formal stone and brick house is designed for urban living.

Teal House: Exterior Teal House
This suburban, master suit + two guest room house, sits on the back half of a long lot. The house is stretched to kiss the two Side Yard Set Backs and is squeezed between the Front and Rear Yard Setbacks. The project started as an addition to a modest 60’s Cape Cod. The dominate gable roof lines are all that survive of the original cottage. The Teal House is “thin” in order to accommodate standard construction and to provide natural light on two sides of every room, which sometimes makes the house transparent. The house is designed for an Acoustician and a Professor. For the Acoustician, the street façade is arranged as a musical score and the shower wall is tilted. The Professor has his own library and ivory tower escape. A sense of precise simplicity is manifest in the house down to the simple trims and an exemplary paint job.

Please enjoy this tour of Mies van der Rohe’s Tugendhat house in Brno, Czech Republic, 1930. It’s wonderful to see this icon of modern architecture in rich color compared to textbook B & W. Abused by the Nazis, the house is currently being fully restored…

This large window-wall was designed by Sam Marts Architects & Planners for the renovation of a storefront (former bakery) into a home. This window is located on axis with the dining table, providing a view into a fully realized, “naturalistic” stream-bed through a new garden.

A few years ago, Sam Marts Architects & Planners participated in a design Charrette to imagine a new “village” on the east side of Grand Rapids, Michigan, along the Grand River.
Downtown, from a retail point of view, is really only a corner store…

This is an example of extraordinary timber joinery. The timbers are fitted in a seemingly impossible decorative fashion. Used here to frame a “log cabin”, but more likely a “log palace”.
